Benefits of Membership

Connect, Grow and Share

Network daily and learn from your knowledgeable colleagues in private practice in speech
pathology and audiology through the AAPPSPA Interact. Our private email network,
AAPPSPA Interact, provides a forum for AAPPSPA members to generously share their wisdom
and personal experiences. Questions are answered, support is provided and philosophies are
discussed. All members are verified private practice owners in a variety of constellations--solo
practitioners to multidisciplinary clinics. Join a conversation about clinical issues, business
practices, professional policies and legislation. Together we represent decades of experience
with diverse populations...an invaluable resource to our national membership.
